This research addresses challenges in 4D scene analysis for autonomous operation of mobile robots on farms. The deployment of agricultural robots will increase sustainability and support precision farming operations tuned to needs of individual plants. This research will enable robots to maintain precise 3D representations of uncertain and highly variable farm environments together with their semantics in order to safely traverse the farm autonomously, as well as to reconstruct structural representations of the crop. Additionally, registering these representations over time would allow for sustained crop monitoring and provide insight into spatio temporal dynamics and interactions between the plants and environmental factors.
